No love for his 1G 2A game today? Seems like a great value pick!

Love to see him performing but it's important to give context. This is technically his D+3 year. Still very good but if he wasn't performing at this point it would be questionable as to why a pick was used on him.
Nevertheless, he is performing so all looks well so far.

Great guy.
Hope Tappara will buy him, if they lose Kemiläinen to Jokerit when Lehtonen leaves to Toronto.
Tappara will need a skill right hadness, if Kemiläine leaves. And Jukurit has no money to keep him.
Big teams will eat the small ones. Just like NHL-level Toronto will eat KHL-level Jokerit (for Lehtonen), and KHL-Jokerit will eat Liiga-level Tappara (for Kemiläinen) and Tappara will eat Mestis-level Jukurit for a guy like Axel Rindell.
That's the way of life, in European hockey.

off topic. it’s so odd to hear acquiring a player as “buying” them. I hear it in european football a lot but in that situation they’re literally buying their rights for money.
Can you buy player contracts in liiga? if so how much do high end and low end players typically cost?

Rich teams kind of buy, because the weak teams just sell them after the chances for the playoffs are gone.
Not much differ of the NHL sellers at the deadline.
Then NHL teams will sell players for picks, at Europe they will just just shed salaries out to have better financial results.

Gotta say, this guy is having an incredible age 20 season and it's flying under the radar because he was a double over ager and 6th round pick.
a) He's on one of the worst teams in Liiga. (3rd worst CF%, 3rd least goals, 4th most goals against)
b) He's the only defenseman in the league wearing the gold helmet (leading the team in points).
c) He's second on his team in ice-time (after 3rd round 2019 pick Kokkonen, who's also having an excellent season)
d) His rel.CF% is +6.8.
e) He has 6 points in his last 4 games.

This guy actually looks like he has the chance to be a player, I hope whenever he’s with the marlies next season and then can get a couple of games up with the Leafs. I think he’s good enough to play 5-10 NHL games next year.

Thats pushing it. He needs work defensively, and if he makes it, it's probably in 3 years time.

17 points in 22 games in Liiga for Jukurit so far this year as a defenseman.
Hoping some of the Finnish posters can chime in to give us an update on Rindell? Does he show promise of an NHL future?

He needs to learn play defense before being even close to AHL level, let alone NHL.
